It's just our 1st week back to school but it's such a hassle already.
Monday, Nov. 10
We were already bombarded with much of the nursing procedures namely : NGT, catheterization, administering medications, positioning the client, wound dressing, IV therapy, administering enema, and oxygenation.
Tuesday & Wednesday, Nov. 11 & 12
We had to do a return demonstration for all the procedures discussed.
Thursday, Nov. 13
It was our first day of lectures but we were already given 2 reading assignments and a quiz next meeting. We have to read Chapters 1-3 for both Medical Surgical and Pharmacology. When I reached home, I did as I was told! It's just that I didn't have much time to finish reading Pharmacology... and because I'm too sleepy, I was not able to read my assignment for Med-Surge. Hahaha... I'm just lucky enough that the quiz for next meeting is just about Pharma's Chapter 1.
TODAY - Friday, Nov. 14
Too much note taking!!! Done with Pharma's 1st quiz = 20 items! If I'm not mistaken, I just got 2 mistakes... so far, so good... BUT STILL!!! I could have perfected that one. Not to brag but I really know the answers (because I read last night!) but it's just that they were at the tip of my tongue!!! Oh well... better luck next time.
Tomorrow will be our last day of class for this week. Another "too much note taking drama" will happen. Stay tune!
Changing topic...
I just saw a news about a terminally ill British teenager who refuses to have a heart transplant. Watch the news here.
She was diagnosed with cancer since school age. She is fighting it for too long. Now, her condition worsened causing her heart muscles to weaken. I'm just amazed that at her young age, 13, she already knows and understands about the risks involved in the operation... saying that if the gets it, " I could be worse than I am now."
If I am in her place... given that the chances of the operation succeeding is small, I'd do the same thing because I'll be most happy to do things I want to do until my last day rather than stay in the hospital where I can't do anything but wait whether I'll wake up and live or just die after the operation.
